Seeing that the doors open, the Cobra Hummer is a must-by - mostly because the driver looks sweet.

The Joe snowmobile and Night Raven just aren't doing anything for me.

Would be nice to have another VvV snowmobile. Not crazy about the colors - that might be a clearance purchase.

No backseat on the Hummer is disappointing, still I dig the Moto-Viper, even if it is just new webgear and a new head (maybe new feet?) on a Viper body with Flash arms. I can see some potential in the vehicle at least. Guess it'll depend on the price point. Night Raven looks good, but it seems pretty small. I like the improved take on the cockpit, but again, I'm waiting to see how much it costs. The Ice Dagger had it's flaws when it was the Ice Sabre, so I dunno on that. I don't like the color scheme as much either, and since the Joe logo is painted on, it's not gonna be an easy switch to Cobra. The figure looks to just be Arctic Snake-Eyes with a new head, so with this one, if I get it, it will be on clearance.

Scale of the NIght Raven is disappointing.

I like the Motor Viper a lot, though I can take or leave the H3. The thing I'm most excited about is the re-release of the "Ice dagger." I never got one, even on clearance. It's cool that it's in blue, because they always looked like a snowmobile-ish variant of the HISS. I'm not crazy about the rest.

Night Raven has potential to be hacked up for something else....Firefox as some one said. Its small size is a distraction I fear.

The repainted Wolf is neat, but I liked the original. Snowmobile is fail, and the hummer has potential. Overall, my grade on the lot of them is a C.

Ohhhh, there goes the summer budget. I'm impressed with all four of these vehicles. The Night Raven isn't quite as cool as the original in my opinion, but it's still pretty cool. (And ZombieGuide, you're right, definite resemblance to Firefox). So are the other three. That G.I.Joe Snow Tank or whatever the heck its real name is is most definitely a must-have -- even for someone living in the desert (although you should've been the snow in the mountains here this morning!)

The Night Raven is REALLY dissapointing to me. It looks great, but looks barely bigger than the Sigma 6 2.5" Firebat. I'll still get one, but I wish it was at least 25% bigger. Strato Viper repaint looks good.

The repainted Ice Saber is OK, but nothing special. Who's driving it?

The little snowmobile looks neat.

The Scarab still looks a little "off", but it's growing on me. I LOVE the Motor Viper though! He's a good redo of the original.

the only one i like is the Hummer (the other 2 vehics don't have enough space play and the other one is a repaint). It looks like it has 4 opening doors to me and may even have 4 seats as well as a compartment in the back for weapons and such.

At least at first glance.

I'm phsyced about the figures. The Vehicles not so much. The H3 is pretty disapointing. I'm still out on the Night Raven. :-/

Ok, now I'm freakin pumped. My love and desire for a Firefox toy will come to fruition.

http://thinkinrussian.org/hangar.cfm

For the record, first to the Firefox idea. :) Now if I can just get one early enough to do the repaint...

Hmm..must start on Mitchell Gant figure...

I've never owned a Night Raven, but from toy shows and collection pictures I've seen that it's pretty big. How are you guys estimating the size of this one? Measuring it by the figure included in the pic?

Never the less, this is a must-buy for me. I missed out in 1986 and it's taken 23 years, but I will own a Night Raven. Disappointed in the repainted Strato though, would have perferred v1 colours.

Rest of the vehicles do nothing for me, so saving money for this Raven and a (hopefully) cool PIT would be awesome!

If it means we may get a release of the STUN with a classic Motorviper... I'm excited.

I might be into the Scarab.. but that's it.

I like the Night Raven. The original is at least as long as a Skystriker if not longer. So like 3 feet long. This seems closer to 1.5-2 feet long. It looks like a fighter version of the NR which is pretty neat. Firing missiles in the wing probably similar to the NAC and the Thunderwing. Pretty neat and I'll probably get one once I see it on the shelf.

The snow vehicles do nothing for me at this point. The snowmobile is actually horrible.

The Hummer isn't too bad. I like that they tried to include the Moto-Viper. I'll have to see more pics of it before I'm completely sold on it though.

The original Night Raven is just shy of 27" long.
